Long term play : btc eth
Short term play is impossible to post cause if ppl read it in a wrong moment they could lose a lot of money.
You mentioned you lost money on ape last week, many ppl earned a lot with ape last week.
Don't follow the spikes, follow the industry .
Otherside /other deeds by yugLabs were only sold in apecoin, so 100k wallets needed 3k to buy it,
Everyone involved in nfts knew this and ppl with decent budgets made millions , cause they bought days before, ( or got it free from the air drop)
And sold when the otherside launched .
Market seems bearish now, so as long there isn't a clear sign like this, 90% of YouTubers will just guess things and say the obvious btc maxis will say BTc.
Personally I find nfts easier to trade , clearer market signals .
Remember trading crypto is extremely volatile, it's extremely easy to lose a lot of money
Never invest money you can't afford to lose ..
